Versatile Mage: Lord of Space

Chapter 211 Individual plans
At this moment, the totem black snake was slowly entering the totem bead. At this moment, Lin Lan's phone suddenly rang.

"Oh Lingling, how is the progress between you and Mo Fan? Is there any progress?" Lin Lan said as she answered the phone.

It turned out that it was Lingling who called Lin Lan. Something must have happened.

Yesterday, Lingling and Mo Fan were arranged to investigate the plague. Logically speaking, there shouldn't be any progress in the short term.

"Lin Lan, Mo Fan and I discovered that the plague has begun to spread. Sister Xinxia is in Hangzhou Academy, and several students there have contracted a strange disease. When Sister Xinxia treated them, she found that healing magic did not seem to be very effective against this strange disease. So I want to ask, how much do you know about this plague?" Lingling said on the other end of the phone.

Since Lin Lan arranged Lingling and Mo Fan to investigate the plague, he must know something about it. Lingling has been collecting information for some time and has asked many people, but she has not asked Lin Lan yet.

"The toxin of this plague is not simple, and its origin is in Hangzhou. Therefore, there is no need to investigate whether there are similar situations in other places for the time being. The information I know is limited, but as long as we can crack the composition of this virus, we should be able to find an antidote. You should pay attention to see if there are any detoxifying herbs that can restrain the components of this plague. Try them all and observe the effects." Lin Lan said in an orderly manner.

Lin Lan's answer was quite satisfactory and pointed out the general direction for Lingling to find the antidote.

It would be unwise to directly say that Eagle Red Grass is the antidote, as it would likely reveal many things.

Moreover, as a member of parliament, Luo Mian is not a simple character. Wang Xiaojun was secretly killed by him because he discovered the antidote.

In order to prevent Luo Mian from jumping off the wall and to prevent the plot from deviating from the established track, the investigation must be carried out step by step. People infected with the plague will not die immediately, but will go through a long and painful process, so there is still time.

Solving the plague is not as simple as saying what the antidote is or who is the culprit. Everything must be based on evidence in order to succeed.

Lin Lan only told Lingling that there was a plague in Hangzhou. As for whether Luo Mian was the mastermind behind it, they had to investigate it themselves.

Lin Lan here only acts as an information provider, a "prophet" who knows the general direction of the plot.

Of course, he also had two goals. One was to protect the totem black snake from the punishment of the thunder ring, and the other was to reduce the number of people who died from the plague in Hangzhou. The ultimate goal of all this was to obtain resources.

"Okay, Lin Lan, let's start the investigation now. This plague is not fatal yet, so I hope we can find an antidote in time."

After hanging up the phone, Lin Lan realized that Tang Yue had successfully put the Skyscraper Snake into the totem bead. The totem bead was green and yellow just now, but now it was completely occupied by blue-black, and you could vaguely see something slowly wriggling in the bead.

This totem bead is really a magical treasure. If you carry it with you, and if you encounter danger, you can summon Pika... Oh no, summon the black totem snake. At that time, a supreme monarch will appear, and the people on the opposite side will probably be scared to death...

"Lin Lan, we have to leave here quickly. It won't be long before Zhu Meng's people will block off this area." Tang Yue said anxiously.

Lin Lan nodded, and immediately paddled the boat, quickly leaving the island in the middle of the lake and fleeing towards the west of Hangzhou.

The rowing speed was extremely fast, allowing Tang Yue to experience the speed and passion.

As for why they didn't take the extremely fast Frost Thunder Eagle, it was because there were obviously people monitoring the area around West Lake. Once the Frost Thunder Eagle showed up, it would definitely be discovered immediately, and then it would be hunted down...

Tang Yue had already carefully planned a route. She planned to take the Skyscraper Snake to a small town called Baizhen on the border of Hangzhou Anjie.

Baizhen is located in the westernmost part of Hangzhou, a long way from the city. On Baishan Mountain in Baizhen, there is an extremely hidden cave, which is only known to the patriarchs of the totem guardians of all generations. It is an excellent place to protect the totem in extraordinary times.

The journey to Baishan is neither far nor near. Lin Lan's current mission is to escort Tang Yue and Sky Snake to the Thousand Caves of Baishan safely.

The Baishan Thousand Caves are connected to each other, and the mountains are connected to each other. It is a mysterious mountain world that has not yet been fully explored. Sky-high snakes live there, and the safety factor is extremely high. Even if Zhu Meng's people find the entrance to the cave, there is nothing they can do. The maze-like cave will make them go there without return.

"Okay, let's go!"

"set off!"

The two took advantage of the darkness of night and left Hangzhou City with the Skyscraper Snake without anyone noticing, quickly fleeing towards the westernmost border of Hangzhou.

In an elegant villa, the bearded Zhu Meng angrily threw the expensive teacup in his hand to the ground, smashing it to pieces. Looking at his subordinates who lowered their heads and dared not say a word, Zhu Meng was even more furious. "You are a bunch of trash, all trash!! Such a big snake demon, you just disappeared without a trace. I asked you to keep an eye on the people of the Totem tribe, what did you do?" Zhu Meng pointed at them and shouted.

"Senator, please calm down. We did follow your instructions and kept a close eye on every important member of the Totem Clan, including the one named Lin Lan. But we never expected that the Totem Clan would hand over the Totem Black Snake to a woman named Tang Yue in the clan. And this Lin Lan... Tang Yue's strength in the clan is not particularly outstanding, so we didn't take her seriously at first and didn't send people to keep a close eye on her right away... And when we were keeping a close eye on Lin Lan, she suddenly disappeared without a trace, which was really puzzling." The chief of the palace guards, Wu Pingjing, said cautiously.

"This Tang Yue, as a judge, actually dared to openly defy me! Issue an arrest warrant immediately. If anyone raises objections during the Hangzhou trial, arrest those who raise objections as well! And this Lin Lan, he really thinks he is so capable. If it weren't for Tang Zhong protecting him, I would have gotten rid of him long ago." Zhu Meng roared angrily.

He never expected that this carefully planned plan would be disrupted by an inconspicuous woman and a student.

"Councilman Zhu Meng, please stop blaming your subordinates. I heard that Lin Lan actually invited the councilors from Magic City, and now those councilors are sitting in the Magic Association." An old man in a retro brocade robe walked out of the courtyard slowly, holding a pot of fragrant tea in his hand, and his goat beard swayed gently as he walked.

The captain of the imperial guards, Wu Pingjing, was slightly stunned. He looked at Councillor Luo with some surprise. He was always at odds with Councillor Zhu Meng. He really didn't understand why he appeared in Councillor Zhu Meng's residence.

"In this strategy of eradicating hidden dangers in Hangzhou, Councillor Luo Mian is also one of the supporters. However, considering his influence in the Hangzhou Trial Council, he does not want to openly turn against the Totem Clan." Zhu Meng explained casually.

Wu Pingjing opened his mouth, but hesitated to speak.

The relationship between the congressmen was really complicated. In the meetings, the two often argued fiercely. Even Wu Pingjing had always believed that Luo Mian, who always protected Totem, was on Totem's side. Who would have thought that he had secretly colluded with Congressman Zhu Meng.

Could it be that the breaking news that the Totem Black Snake had entered its molting period was leaked by Councillor Luo Mian and his men?
"What's the matter with that Demon City councilor?" Zhu Meng asked.

"The member of the Magic City Congress is called Lei Yuan, but he has a great background. It was Lin Lan who called him here. He is absolutely opposed to our actions, but I have sent people to calm him down, so you don't have to worry. Although the member of the Magic City Congress has great power, he must have a good reason to stop us, and he doesn't know our real plan at all." Luo Mian said with a little pride.

But Luo Mian didn't know that Lei Yuan had no intention of really stopping them. He was just interfering according to Lin Lan's wishes.

Moreover, there are more important things waiting for him to do...

At the same time, Lei Hanhai and Lei Hao were also on their way. Lin Lan told them that their mission was to protect the totem... It can be said that Luo Mian had always been controlled by Lin Lan.

As long as Lin Lan has solid evidence, three super-class mages and a totem black snake can completely destroy Luo Mian at any time.

"That's good. As long as we eliminate this huge hidden danger before he finds out, the members of the Magic City will not be able to say anything." Zhu Meng nodded and said.

"It's my fault that I failed to stop them from escaping with the Totem Black Snake. After the meeting yesterday, I guessed that it would be that girl Tang Yue who took the Totem Black Snake away. However, the chief judge Tang Zhong seemed to have suspected me for a long time. He kept me playing chess all night, so I couldn't inform you in time. Tang Zhong is not an easy character to deal with." Luo Mian said with a smile.

"Don't talk so much nonsense. I called you here this time just to ask you for advice. I have already sent people to deploy guards in various important locations, but I really can't understand how a mere Tang Yue and a student could perfectly avoid my heavy deployment in HZ City." Zhu Meng said.

Wu Pingjing nodded in agreement.

This was also his biggest doubt as the head of the imperial guards. In order to ensure that nothing could go wrong, they not only sent people to keep a close eye on Tang Zhong, Hei Yu and other key Totem personnel, but also set up strict security around the West Lake. Tang Yue was just a high-level mage. According to common sense, it was impossible for her to escape the perception of so many palace guards.

"I just learned about it from my subordinates. Although the Totem Black Snake's strength will drop significantly during the molting period, its perception will increase exponentially. Within a radius of 20 kilometers, commander-level creatures and high-level mages cannot escape its perception. This is an important means for the Totem Black Snake to protect itself during the molting period, allowing it to quickly predict danger and successfully avoid all enemies that may threaten it. That Tang Yue must have used this ability of the Totem Black Snake to avoid your capable subordinates." Luo Mian explained.

Zhu Meng raised his thick eyebrows, looking surprised.

The chief guard Wu Pingjing also raised his head, with a look of sudden enlightenment.

"As the strongest creature among the monarch class, how could the Totem Black Snake not have some special abilities? So, even if you send more experts to chase it now, it will be useless. The Totem Black Snake can easily detect the position of the pursuer." Luo Mian continued.

"Then in your opinion..." Zhu Meng said.

"There are plenty of trainee judges in the court. Send trainee judges to find them and obstruct them. It is not necessary to bring them to justice. As long as you can delay until your palace guards arrive, Tang Yue will have no choice but to surrender!" Luo Mian stroked his beard, as if he had already had this plan in mind.

"Let's do as you say. Even if the high-level mages cannot be dispatched, we have an absolute advantage in numbers. A spit from each of us can drown them." Zhu Meng agreed upon hearing this.
